The HPI was developed in the 1980s in the context of socio-analytic theory. Within this model, getting along with and getting ahead of others are seen as the dominant themes in social life. The HPI captures key behavioral tendencies relevant to these life themes and are based on the five-factor model of personality.

The Hogan Personality Inventory is comprised of seven primary scales, six occupational scales, and 42 subscales.
